_MONTROSE, PA., WEDNESpAY, JUNE 29, 1870.
A rotrmulta sTOBT.
In 18— I was traveling from Ithaca to
Buffalo, in New York State, by stage, bi
tending to reach uffhlinie in time to par
take of the anneal Thanksgiving dinner
with old and toting friends at the old
homestead. It was a bitter cold morning
when we set out and' the rizads were frozen
hard, there having been considerable mud
only a day or two before.
The first night we put in at Danville,
and on the following morning when I
awoke, I found that the earth was not
outreovered - Nvith now; brit that - anew
walffillUPg Agit! . 4.41er pn early breakfast
we iiiiOnt again on wheels; but at the
end of eight miles we were forced to take
runners, the snow clogging up so that the
wheels would not run. When night came
we found ourselves obliged to stop at a
small village only twenty miles from
where we set out in the morning.
A good supper was provided at the inn,
and the place had the appearance of com
fort. We had just sat down to supper
when the wind began to blow furiously,
and we could see by the dim light with
out that the snow was being whirled and
driven about in a fnrions manner. There
was a fire in the small sitting room, and
thither we passengers, air of us, adjourned.
We sat there and conversed until near
nine o'clock; and then I went out into
the bar-room to smoke a cigar previous to
retiring.
In the barroom I found a bright wood
fire burning, and some dozen people were
sitting there,smoking and drinking. (This
was long before the introduction of the
Maine laws.) Several of the company I
j... 6. to be teamsters ; a rough, hardy
... -natured set, who were enjoying
t emselves hugely over a mug of flip.
Then there were several whom I found to
be villagers—men who lived near the inn,
a set of vil la ge politicians and newsmong
era, who mac the bar room a place of
social evening meeting.
I had lighted my agar and taken my
seat near the fire, when I noticed a buffalo
skin on one end of the settee, op to to
where I sat, and I was confident there was
a human being beneath it. I supposed it
might be a stable hand who had been at
work hard, or was expected to be up most
of the night, and was now getting a little
sleep. I was looking at the buffalo, and
thus meditating when I heard a low, deep,
death-like groan come up from beneath it,
and in a few moments more the robe was
thrown upon the floor, and the man who
bad reposed beneath came down upon the
top of it, and there be lay for some mo
menta like a dead man. I had just start
ed np, when four of the vill n e e l ers hastened
to his assistance. They li him to his
reer, vim aster considerate e ort ne man
aged to stand up.
My God ! what a thrill struck my heart
when I saw that face. It was one of no
ble features ; a brow, high and amply de
veloped, over which clustered a mass of
dark glossy ringlets; the face bearitifirlly
proportioned, and each separate feature
most exquisitely chiselled. But what an
ex cession rested there now !
The great dark eyes had a vacant, idiot
ic stare; the face was pale as death and
the lips looked dry and parched, and
much discolored. His clothes were torn
and soiled, and one of his hands bloody.
He was surely not more than five and
thirty, and his appearance would at once
indicate a man of more than common
abilities. But the demon had him and
had made him something below the brute.
"How do you feel now, George asked
one of the men who had gone to his as
sistance.
;But be only groaned in , reply, and he
was Soon persuaded to lie'dowu again, be
ing told that be would soon feel better.
As soon as he was on the settee once more,
and had the buffalo over him, the men
returned to their seats.
"Who is that chap?" asked one of the
teamsters looking toward the villagers who
bad been assisting the unfortunate man.
"That's George Dockland," returned a
stout, honest looking man
"Does he belong here?"
"Yes. Didn't yon never hear of him?"
The teamster replied that he had not.
"Well," resumed the fist man, "It's too
bad, I declare 'tie. Dockland might be
one of the first men in town if he'd a
mind to ; but you see ho will drink ; and
the worst of it is, he makes a fool of him
self. He can't touch it without doing just
as he's doing now. He started here as a
lawyer, and a smart one be is too. Why,
he can argue old Upton right out of his
boots. But ye see he's lost all his best
customers now. They damn% trust him
with business, 'cause he ain't sure of ever
doing it. He's got one of the beantifulest
little wives you ever saw ; and one of the
handsomest children. But, poor things I
I pity 'em. Then there's another thing;
rum operates differently on him item
what it does on most folks It doesn't
show itself on the outside as it does on
a'most.everybody else, but it seems to eat
him up inside. Yon see how pale he
looks—well, he's always so when he's on
one of these times. He don't eat nothin',
and I don't suppose he'll put a bit of food
into his stomach for a week to come."
"How long has he been so ?" asked the
teamster.
"Haw d'ye mean?"
"Why, bow long both wisp? How long
he took to drink, an' bow long he's been
drunk now?"
"Well he's took a drink mote or less
ever since he came from college; but it's
about a year that he's been down bard at
it. Ye see folks began to find out bow
slack -be was in his business, and they
wouldn't give binvany lob of consequence
to do. I 'arse that sort o' set him agoin'
in this fialnon. And as for this drunk, I
&MI say be bad been on it a fortnight.
He's sot down now as low as he can get
and hve, and I guess hell get sober in a
day or two."
"But where does he get his liquor?"
asked the questioner.
"You must ask Mike Fingal that ques
tion," was the other's answer.
All eyes were turned upon thelandlord
who now stood behind the ben He was
evidently troubled at this tnitAtediskosed
tumusly upon hi high stool.
"Mike Fingal," spoke the teamster, "do
you seU that man runt F"
"Yes, I do," the fellow replied, with an
effort, "Don't I sell you the same when
you call for it ?"
"But I arn't a poor drunkard, and you
know it. That arn't no excuse Mike, I
shouldn't think you'd do
"But when he want's rum he's bound
to have it, and if I didn't let him have it
somebody else would,":the host replied.
"Now, that's odd," energetically pursued
the teamster: "On the same ground• you
might take a pistol sod go out and rob
folks, because if you didn't somebody else
would. But that isn't here or there. The
thing is, I don't see what kind of a heart
you can have to do it."
The conversation was here interrupted
by a sound from the street. The wind
was still howling madly, and the snow
was driving against the window, but
above the voice of the storm came the
wailing of some one in- distress. It was
surely the cry of a child for help. We
were all upon our feet in a moment and
the lantern was quickly lighted. My hat
was already on my head—or my cap rath
er—aud I went out with the rest. All
went but the landlord and his wretched
customer who occupied the settee. h e lves
some moments before I could see at all,
the snow came driving into my face so ;
but I soon managed to turn my head, and
then went on. The wind, as it came
sweeping out through the stable, had piled
up a huge bank of snow across the street,
and in this bank we found a female with
a child in her arms. She seemed faint
and frozen, but yet she clung to her child.
The man who tarried the lantern held it
up to her face. The features were half
covered with snow, but the momentary
glare of the lantern was sufficient to re
veal to me a face of more than ordinary
beauty.
"Heavens uttered the man. as he low
ered the lantern and caught the woman
in his arms. "Kate Lockland, is this
you ?" But without waiting for a reply,
he turned to the rest of us and cried,
"here, take the child some of you, and
I'll wiry the mother."
The Child was quickly taken, and ere
many minutes we were back in the bar
room with our b9rden. The two were
taken to the fire•nud the snow brushed
from them.
"Who's them ?" asked the host.
"Only kate Lockland and her child,"
answered the Ent man.
"What d'ye bring 'em in here for?" the
host uttered angrily. "Why didn't ye
take 'em to your own house, Jim Drake ?"
"Cause my own house is too far."
The host was coming around the bar
and his eye was flashing with mingled
shame and anger, but before he got fairly
ont, the stout, burly teamster who had
said so much, started up.
"Mike Final," he uttered, in tones
°L" ; " " uau wunCIVIIL ur OVI ti
physical koorver can command. "Don't
ye put a huger on that woman. Don't
ye do it. If ye do, I'll crush ye as I would
a pizen spider I"
- Fingal looked at the speaker in the eye
for a moment, and then muttering some
thing about a man having a right to do
as he pleased in his own house, he slunk
away behind his bar again.
I now turned my attention to the wo
man and her child. The former was sure
ly not yet thirty years of age, and she was
truly a beautiful woman—only she was
pile and wan, and her eyes were swollen.
She trembled fearfully, and I could see
her bosom heave as she tried to choke the
sobs that were bursting forth. The child
was a girl about four years old. She clung
close to her mother, and seemed fright.
toed into a forgetfulness of her cold ting
ers.and feet.
"Kate l o ockland, what in Heaven's
name are ye doite out. this night ?" 'asked
Jim Drake.
"Oh I was tryin to find your own house,
Jim Drake, for I knew you'd give me
shelter. But I got lost in the snow. I
wouldn't have cried out, in front of this
place, but my poor child did. Jim Drake,
have you seen George ? Oh, God, have
mercy on him! Poor dear George! He
don't know we are freezing, starving in
our own house! No fuel—no—food—no
—no."
She stopped and burst into tears, and
in a moment more Geo. L(xkland leaped
to his feet..
"Who called inc ?" he cried, gazing
wildly around.
Kate sprang up instinctively, but ere
she reached her husband she stopped.
The man saw her, and for a while stood
rivited to the spot. Soon he gazed around
upon the scene about him, and gradually
a look of intelligence relieved the utter
blank of his hitherto pale and maniac
face.
"No fuel 1 no food!" he whispered, gaz
ing upon his wife. "Starving! God have
mercy! Who was it said those words!
Where am I?"
"George! George!" cried the wife, now
rushing forward and Hinging her arms
about her husband's neck, "Don't y ou
know me!".
"Sate! no Env !--there's fire!"
"Aye, George Lockland," • said Jim
Drake, now starting up; this ern% your
own home. Don't ye know where ye are ?"
Again the poor man gazed about_ him
and a fearful shudder convulsed his lime,
and his, hands involuntarity closed, over
his eyes, I kneW that the truth had burst
upon him.
"No fuel I—no food !" he groaned.
"0, sir," whispered the wife, catching
Dralmeonvulaively by the arm, "take us
away from here, do."
"But you're cold Kate."
"No, no, no It's only a little way to
your house, I shall die here!"
"Will you go home with me, George ?"
Jim asked of the busload.
"Anywhem gasped the poor man.
"0, Gad! no &el I no food 1 Kate! Are
you hurt?"
But the wife could not speak, and as
soon as possible the fat old villager had
the lantern in readiness and half a dozen
went to help him.
"Come," he said., "Lead George one of
you. You take Kate—you are stouter
than I—and I'll take the little one." This

Drake had just come in to bring back the
old cloak they had wrapped around the

"What'll you have this morning, Jim ?"
I heard the landlord ask, as he set out a
tumbler.
"Nothing," returned the fat man em
phatically.
"I'm done, Mike Fingal, I'm done with

I reached Buffalo two days later than I

stopped in that same village to take din

Fingal had gone away. I walked out af

painted office, over the door of which I
read : "George Lockland, Attorney and

laughing and tripping along.like a little

we stood, and put up her arms—" Uncle

while he was kissing her, and chatting
with her, I moved on. I looked back

A Tale of Outrages and Retribution.
It is well known that during the revo
lutionary wars in Northern Italy, in 1848
and 1849, the Austrian commanders
caused a number of aristocratic ladies who
had participated in some patriotic demon
strations, to be brutally whipped by Cro
, atic soldiers in front of the, city jails, and
in the presence.alarge Crowds of specta
tors, Tht4liO3rescia, the Countess of
Ferrari, a.young married,lady of twenty
five who had collected money for therevd-,
lutionary vohinteers, 'was placed before a
Military Commission of Austrian of:ricers,
and, by the direction .of Lieutenant Field
Marshal Neipperg, sentenced to- receive
fifty strokes with the verges. On the same
afternoon she was led on the Flue
dArmes, and, after having been stripped
almost naked, and tied to a bench, she re
ceived her punishment
_at the hands of
two stalwart Croats who were armed
with formidable birch rods. Every stroke
with them must have been intensely pain
ful, but the Countess did not utter a
sound of complaint. At the twenty-fifth
stroke, however, she fainted, and when
her executioners had inflicted the full
number of strokes on her senseless body, ,
she was carried back in an almost lifeless
condition to her cell, and thrown on a
bundle of straw. She never fully recovered
from this castigation, and died in a few
months afterwards. This is only one case
in many. The fathers, husbands, broth
ers,aud sous of these martyred Italian la
dies formed in the year 1850 a secret league
for the purpose : of, meting, out punish

Differont men have different ways or
climbing into rank and office. Some bold
fellows take a run and mount at two or
three strides. Others of less vigor use
mors art—they creep slyly along upon
their bellies, catching hold of the cliffs and
twigs to pull themselves up—sometimes
they meet a high rock and are obliged to
crawl around it—at other times they catch
hold as prominent cliff or a little twig,
which gives way and back they tumble,
scratching their clothes and sometimes
their skin. However it is, very few will
lift their neighbors—unless to get a lift
themselves. Yet sometimes one of those
crawlers will lend a. hand to their neigh
boring crawlers—affect to' pull hard to
raise them a little—then getting up on
their shonldiers, give a leap to an emi
